[zalock]

Does anyone know if a guy could buy a new defrost vent in the top of the door panel? Mine is broke and i would like to replace it but cant find one.
Thanks,
Zac

It's removable...So it's defintaly Replacable.

Def try a Junkyard.

You can order that part from the dealer. I think the cost was $10 or $12 when I ordered mine. You do have to remove the whole interior door panel for installation. (This is why I have yet to install mine ).

Call them. I don't see that vent in their on line catolog.

manticore33 - the only problem is the closest mitsu dealer from me is 100 miles. There isn't one in town. I'll try calling the dodge dealer maybe they'll have it.

Crap, I just saw a clean 2g body today at the picknpull. Coulda sold it to you But yeah go for the junkyard first, then go up the money ladder.

I've tried pulling them from the junkyard but the little plastic tabs always break off when I try to remove them. I think it would be easier to just order some new ones, unless someone has a tip on how to carefully remove the little metal retaining "nut/clip" without tearing and breaking the plastic.

The dodge dealer should have them since the are the same ones in the talon.

The Steatlh ones look pretty damn close as well. I've heard of someone swapping Stealth door panels into a Eclipse RS so he could have power locks/windows so you would think the vents would be the same.

The Chrysler/Dodge dealers are typically more expensive then the Mitsubishi dealerships. The local Chrysler/Dodge dealership has always been 20-30% higher then the Mitsubishi dealership and almost everything would be a special order with a 5-6 day wait! (When I did order something it came with a mitsu OEM part number and certificate . )
